Create An Eye-Opening Twitter Background Images That Will Make Your Audience Pause
Posted by admin on June 11, 2009
A picture REALLY IS worth a thousand words.
Not long ago I was driving my car and saw two young boys riding a bike. One was pedaling while the other sat on the bar between the seat and the handles. He was the passenger. THEY DID NOT HAVE HELMETS ON THEIR HEADS.
I wish I had pictures with me when I stopped my car, got out and told them in a soft, yet sad voice a story about a young girl’s battle with brain injury that resulted from a bike accident. I graphically shared some of what I saw when I took her grandmother to visit her in the hospital. They listened quietly. I don’t know if their behavior changed. ( I did not have a follow-up form-smile)
Now, I have not talked much about Twitter yet. But it is one of the most powerful social networking sites right now. Many public health and health related non-profits are on Twitter.
Recently, I saw one of the most engaging images in the Twitter background of The Brain Injury Association of New Jersey. Now, some may say it was much too scary. But, others will say it depends on what you must do to capture the attention of your target markets.
The point is that social media provides an avenue to reach your market with your specific health messages. It will mean using more than plain text but images that YOU FEEL will make an impact.
The link above takes you to their Twitter handle so you can follow them. However, look at their profile and visit their site.
What do you think?
